Had an amazing moment where a dragon came flying down and landed near a giant, it started whacking the dragon with its big club whilst myself and three archers shot from afar.
Dragon got pissed, flew off and burnt a nearby farmer to death, landed and the horse from the stable ran out and attacked it. I came in and delivered the final blow with my sword of cold touch.
Love this game to bits.

Well, depends on you. My honest advice:Reveirg said:
Before you start, think of a character.
Imperial Good? Good guy? Neutral who doesnt give a fuck? Bad guy? Bad Bad thief ?
Magic? 2h? Bow?
Do you steal? Will you Lockpick? Yes, No, rarely?
Alchemy? Or do you prefer cooking? Smith or Enchanter?
Don´t use fasttravel. Don´t. Try to play like this: "I got xyz quest active, so I will walk to this town, do this. Then buy a horse and go to ..."
Read books.
Take your time, look around.
my2c ... could write a thousand more things

My tip would be to not feel beholden to the main quest. Or any quests. Explore and talk to people in towns and cities. If you stumble upon something interesting, even if it's totally separate from the main quest, stick with it since it'll most likely lead to an interesting chain.

Can someone post the entire Behind The Wall: The Making of Skyrim DVD to Youtube or something ?
Does anyone else notice that some enemies seem to have way too much HP and do too much damage? I just did a sidequest to kill a bandit boss in a dungeon and I'm level 15. Now I'm able to kill all of the grunt bandits in one shot with a sneak bow attack, and their attacks generally do about 1/8th of my health in one hit. However the boss only loses about 1/5th of his health with a sneak bow attack, and can kill me in two hits.

I didn't intend to use fast travel, but I have been. It's actually quite nice when I'm looking to make some progress. When I'm ready to adventure, I just leave where I am and head in a direction and let the world do its thing. Personal preference there.
But everything else is spot on - this is a true RPG that's meant to be enjoyed by getting into the world that you're making a name for yourself in.

It's always been that way. In Oblivion, it was steal a candle and get arrested...
The scale of the crime isn't important, only the fact that you committed one.

I'm kind of disappointed that the cities don't feel as crowded with buildings as in Oblivion.
Yeah, cities like Whiterun are BIG and beautiful, but when you look at the map, there really aren't that many buildings for you to want to spend a lot of time breaking into them.
Also I'm not really finding a lot of locked chests. Between that and all the stuff that's NOT marked as "owned" that you can just take (like all the food in the Jarl's kitchens...wtf), it's almost disappointing being a thief in this game.
That's awesome, thank you! Best part is: I don't actually want the power I got from the Word, so I can just wait for a better one to use my dragon soul. ha

Is there any chick thats easily prone to marrying you once you're wearing
?

Dark/Demon's Souls is designed so you can find your way through a very narrow space and face overwhelming odds by employing skill and using your brain.
Elder Scrolls is designed so you can explore a gigantic world and build your own adventure, which often results from the unpredictable things that happen while you are trying to complete one of the hundreds of quests.

I actually asked that earlier but no one responded, since the thread is moving way fast.
I found her in my very first hour, down at her cabin. She didn't have much to say and I went down and discovered her dirty little secret, whch wasn't very dirty. Yet she tries to kill me when I came up.
So I just reloaded the save, in case killing her is important for another quest. If we're not supposed to kill her, well, she still wants to kill ME, so hopefully she'll either accept my yield or she's calmed down by now. ha

I'm about that lvl too and I'm excited for that now. But I'm holding off on those quests as long as possible, so it might be worth more when I do get there.

I unintentially have been wearing it up until I discovered that it's for marriage and I have YET to see any chick interested in me, besides saying flirtatious things when I walk past or talk to her.

damn,. thanks ben but i needa bitch to make me a SAMMICH. plus im sure its pretty hard to find a woman out there into bestiality, considering Im a Khajiit.
I've been an archer mainly and on the difficulty level I'm at (Expert), its been a little difficult at times when I had to get up close and personal with more than one enemy.
But now I've unlocked the zoom and slow-down time perks and holy hell, I'm having the time of my life. Things haven't gotten easy, but I dont feel completely outmatched anymore. Next perk I get will be the 3-times bow damage when sneaking one. Cant wait.
And again, best game ever. Like seriously, only 15 hours in and I'm pretty sure this is my favorite game ever. Sorry Final Fantasy VI.

Oh, poor poor Angi. Found her in the mountains, got her to teach me archery, share a meal and chat about her family. Completed all the exercises fast, precise and with composure. Graciously accepted her bow, given her by her late mother who taught her archery in place of the father who was never home.
Then, as she walked up the stairs to her lonely home in the mountains, I stayed behind and, knowing my shot would be true-all thanks to her charitable training-shot her in the head with her mother's bow and bashed her head in with my mace.
Oh, poor poor Angi, what were you thinking, trusting this lizard?

One thing that I noticed is that the difficulty is a lot better (on adept) than it ever was in Oblivion. It's still mostly easy - but there are certain encounters which really remind you not to get too cocky.

So the past 10 hours of me playing were hell. I turned into a vampire and basically tried to find a cure throughout the whole map until a rumor helped me. Until then I was at Stage 4 and had to keep feeding on people which was aggravating since everyone kept attacking me. Thankfully I found a lone bandit sleeping in a camp which diminished it to Stage 3.
Just finished this ritual and I'm a Nord again. What a fucking relief.

Adept difficulty is pretty well balanced. If you're finding things too tough on Expert - don't assume Adept in Skyrim to be mind numbingly easy as "normal" was in Oblivion.
Did you read what I wrote you earlier? Equip them with heavy armor. KI is kinda dumb and will focus your companion once you walk around a bit. You can attack them from behind then. Companions got a shitload of health, you can even heal them, once you bought that spell.Hugs said:
Also they can carry stuff

I don't know about this junior thing, but I usually don't worry about grammar so much when I'm posting at a video game forum.
And I was "juniored". I've been posting here forever, and have posted so much stupid stuff that I'm actually in the top 20 or so lifetime.

I know how you feel. I have a few candidates already and want to lock that shit down. Then again, I've only explored one city and one village...and Falkreath, which has a Jarl yet no walls and only a few houses so I'm still not sure if it's a major city.
Whiterun:
- obviously the greymane blonde from the first screenshots that were published...hello
- Ygroda (?) or whatever, the merchant who seems uncomfortably obsessed with khajiits and asks for a mammoth tusk, which just tells me she's a FREAK in a good way
- the Redguard chick who pulls a knife on you just for talking to her...I like it...and her scar is cute
Riverwood
- Ralof's sister - I'll kill her husband if I need to
- the barmaid who the elf and bard are in love with...just because it would be funny
